The Supercharger Store in Huachuca City, Arizona offers a unique and technologically advanced alternative to conventional supercharger systems. They offer gear drives for powering single or dual centrifugal superchargers for race and high performance street cars. Air flow capacities range from 1200 cfm up to 4000 cfm for single supercharger applications and 4000 cfm up to 6300 cfm [that’s 4000 + horsepower] for dual supercharger applications.
The Supercharger Store gear drive locates the supercharger [superchargers] out of the line of sight and forward in the vehicle for improved aerodynamics, better weight distribution and amazing visibility. It also eliminates the supercharger belt drive thereby eliminating the large side load on the engine crankshaft and on the supercharger input shaft.
Mass moments of inertia of the supercharger drive components are dramatically reduced with the gear drive as compared to a belt drive thereby passing more horsepower to the rear tires as opposed to horsepower being consumed to accelerate heavier supercharger drive components.
At the track, the supercharger step up ratio can be changed within 20 minutes and 70 different gear sets are available for nearly infinite tuning.
Engine crankshaft harmonics are isolated within the gear drive via the use of two stages of vibration isolation utilizing energy absorbing polyurethane dampers.
If you are interested in eliminating the uncertainty and expense of your present belt drive supercharger, give the guys at The Supercharger Store a call.
